Craig Stephens

Professor, Biology Department and Public Health Program, Santa Clara University

Craig Stephens is a visiting scientist in Dr. Riley's lab, on sabbatical from Santa Clara University. His work in the Riley lab is focused on using whole genome sequencing to examine the acquisition and evolution of antibiotic resistance in the ST95 MLST group of E. coli, using a collection of isolates from bloodstream infections. The project also hopes to identify genetic traits that vary within the ST95 group, or that differentiate ST95 isolates from other E. coli pathotypes.
